Brown is the New Black

Chocolate, java, mocha—any shade of dark brown you name continues to be the buzz in cabinetry, especially in contemporary kitchen designs. Many homeowners like a sleek, simple look but find the typical colors and materials of modern design too cold or stark. Choosing wood cabinets in a rich, warm hue helps to create a "comfortable contemporary" style.

This wet bar in the 2007 New American Home, a showhouse located in Orlando, Fla., features full-access maple cabinets from Canac Kitchens with an espresso finish. Oversized pulls and glass doors add to the contemporary style.
